but there are some android music players like Neutron and USB Aduio player Pro and they do not down sample to 44k

Is there a link to buy this from US?
The LG g7 legit measures as well as a lot of desktop dacs, so I feel like your interference arguments is kinda invalid, and also sounds a bit made up lol. Do you have anything I can read to back it up?

I do after with everything else though. Having a dap phone wouldn't work for too long. We'll see not long some of these Android Daps last before bogging down. Just got a hiby r5 so fingers crossed.
Ok I hear you, and it makes sense, but wouldn't this mean that having your phone anywhere near your dap cause audible interference as well? I never hear it. I've heard it with a desktop amp before, but never with a phone or dap. I feel like this means that there is proper shielding.The electro-magnetic emission of cellular radio of mobile phones is not constant but fluctuates depending on how far it is to a cell tower, the strength of the signal it is connecting to with the cell tower, as well as what it is doing at the time of measurement - so unless the measurements of the LG G7 is done while factoring or simulating those conditions (which I doubt - your average FR and THD measurement tools for audio and the sites doing them simply doesn't take these conditions into factor), you will not get an accurate reading of the effects of the EMI on its output. If you've ever experience the static/clicking noise from a speaker when a mobile phone is placed near it just as it was about to ring, you've just experienced a sudden increase in EMI due to the phone suddenly boosting its power output when making a handshake connection with the cell tower in preparation of connecting the voice call, and that EMI being picked up by the speaker which is not properly shielded from the effects.
In a best case scenario you would hope the maker has factored in the maximum power output of the radio in the phone to compensate for its effects - but it's still an added complexity to the design and EMI shielding that would add cost and bulk to the device which could be better spent elsewhere. Of course if you want you can put the phone into airplane mode which switches all the radios off, but if that's the use case, why put the radio into the device in the first place?

Can you give me something to read on the subject besides your own thoughts? You sound very intelligent, but also like you're making an issue out of a non-issue.
We have had audiophile grade phones and interference has never been a documented issue with any of them.
If the Android downsampling can be bypassed by just simply using other music apps, then I don't think it's an issue to not get the zx500 and a100.
If the current UI on their players are any indication, it's by miles far from the robustness of other music players. The only reason to stay with the Sony music app is the DSP but personally I never liked it so not going to be missed. I'm sure quite a few feels the same too
The Sony default player is confirmed to circumvent SRC, so no issue with local files.
The issue is with streaming apps, which typically do not have any alternate players. In particular, while out and about, I use Spotify extensively as a music discovery tool. If the quote is correct this will be resampled to 48kHz from 44.1kHz. Luckily this DAP supports the Play Store so UAPP can be used to bypass SRC for Tidal (I believe at around $12), but that is just one service and competing DAPs bypass the SRC universally allowing you to use the player you prefer without limitation.
It seems bizarre to me that Sony pre-installs Tidal (from the show players), includes MQA-unfold for Tidal Masters, and then by their own statement downsample to 48/16. I won't get into the semantics of resampling and the science/preference of that, but it is inarguably an area where Sony disappoints for their price segment and product advertising.
Most of not all the arguments didn't mention about streaming so only now I get the concern. Spotify shouldn't be a problem since it isn't even considered hi-res here. The thing about UAPP is new to me. Will check it up.
Let's just hope Sony has a change of mind and work out the issue before release or maybe release an update soon after release. Big companies never really make good decisions, especially to cater a niche market
